Staff Accountant Jobot
- $75,000–$95,000 Per Year
| Location | Northern Virginia, VA |
Why This Opportunity
This is a strong opportunity for an early-career accountant who wants broader exposure to general ledger accounting, month-end close, and day-to-day financial operations. You’ll join an established private organization where your work will be visible and you’ll have room to strengthen your accounting foundation.
About the Company
Our client is an established, privately held organization in the Professional Services sector. The company supports a diverse customer base and operates in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. The accounting team plays an important role in supporting ongoing operations and business growth. The organization offers strong benefits and values employees who take ownership of their work.
About the Staff Accountant Role
The Staff Accountant will support a broad range of corporate accounting activities, including billing, accounts payable, reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end close. This role works closely with other members of the accounting and finance team as well as internal business partners.
The position is well suited for someone who has built a foundation in accounting and is ready to gain more hands-on general ledger experience. You’ll have visibility into multiple areas of the accounting cycle and the opportunity to contribute to process improvements as you grow.

Qualifications

Experience with areas such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, reconciliations, journal entries, or general ledger accounting
Working knowledge of GAAP and fundamental accounting principles
Strong Excel skills and comfort working with financial data
Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills
Ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Broad exposure to general ledger and corporate accounting
Hands-on involvement in the month-end close process

Exposure to process improvement and accounting automation initiatives
Strong opportunity for an early-career accountant to continue developing professionally
